Halliwells delays repayment of partner loans after exits

Halliwells has arranged with its lender to delay repaying a number of professional practice loans in a bid to keep cash in the business.
Following the departure of a number of partners, the national firm has agreed with its bank that in six individual circumstances it will delay paying back professional practice loans - money that individuals borrow from the bank to put into the firm on joining the equity. The money will now not be repaid in full until the former partners' official notice period has come to an end, even if the partner has left the firm before the notice period is up.

BDO has applied to be appointed as liquidator of defunct law firm Halliwells, with the organisation, currently Halliwells’ administrator, taking the first steps towards liquidating the failed firm’s limited liability partnership (LLP). BDO expects a decision on its application in the New Year but CMS Cameron McKenna issued a letter on behalf of the company last month stating BDO’s intention to terminate its appointment as administrator and to instead become the failed firm’s liquidator.
